You have committed yourself to exporting and assessed your readiness. You have the skills and the resources to undertake the challenge. You have conducted research on the market and prepared your export plan, international marketing plan and financial plan.

You have gone through the export process step-by-step and feel confident that you have covered all the bases. Now, it is time to put all this skill and knowledge to use.
